From 18-29 march a big exercise, Cerberus Guard was held by Dutch Air Mobile forces in conjunction with the Royal Netherlands Air Force. Objective was to exercise in urban areas as recent wartime experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan had necessitated this kind of exercise. On the 20th march there was a mock attack on the defunkt Twenthe Airbase. From there the units mingled with the population in the direct vicinity of the base.

The photos were taken during a cold, snowy, overcast day with cold gusts of wind and subzero temperatures. The FZ200 coped well with the environment.
